Description
We performed a transcriptome-wide study to compare gene expression profiles of ECFC, human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAEC) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) utilising subcutaneous adipose tissue-derived stromal vascular fraction (SAT-SVF) as a negative control population. Baseline gene expression in ECFC fully corresponds to their endothelial specification and may contribute to the basement membrane organisation, fulfilling the requirements for the suitable cell population for in vitro pre-endothelialisation of tubular scaffolds. Overall design: Comparison of gene expression in 4 cell types by Hiseq sequencing.

Description
Serrated adenocarcinomas are morphologically different from conventional adenocarcinomas. The serrated pathway has recently been proposed to represent a novel mechanism of colorectal cancer (CRC) formation. However, whether they are biologically different and truly form a distinct subclass of CRC, is not known. This study shows that the gene expression profile of serrated and conventional CRCs differs from each others and that serrated CRCs are not only morphologically novel, but also biologically distinct subclass of CRC.

Description
Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) underlie the pathogenesis of multiple disorders. Nevertheless, physiological levels of ROS are required for intracellular signalling and maintenance of metabolic homeostasis. DJ-1, a Parkinsons disease-associated protein, is involved in the regulation of oxidative stress. Our aim in this study was to determine the effect of DJ-1 disruption on gene expression in muscle cells. To this end, we transfected a murine myoblast cell line, C2C12 cells with siRNA targeting DJ-1.

Description
While identification of genes mutated in high penetrance tumor predisposition syndromes has been a success story, much less progress has been made in characterizing the genetic basis of low penetrance tumor susceptibility. Combining recently introduced chip-based technologies with traditional genealogy work we have identified inactivating germline mutations in patients with pituitary adenoma predisposition (PAP).

Description
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are maternally inherited and are associated with a broad range of debilitating and fatal diseases. Assisted reproductive technologies designed to uncouple the inheritance of mtDNA from nuclear DNA may enable women who carry mtDNA mutations to have a genetically related child with a greatly reduced risk of disease. Here we report for the first time that pronuclear transplantation (PNT) between normally fertilised human zygotes provides an effective approach to preventing transmission of mtDNA disease. We found that the procedures previously used to perform PNT between abnormally fertilized human zygotes are highly inefficient when applied to those that undergo normal fertilization. We have therefore developed an alternative approach based on transplanting PN shortly after completion of the second meiotic division rather than shortly before onset of the first mitosis. This approach promotes highly efficient development to the blastocyst stage without affecting nuclear genome integrity. Furthermore, the expression profile of genes encoded by the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes was indistinguishable from unmanipulated control embryos. Importantly, levels of mtDNA transferred with the nuclear genome are below the threshold for mtDNA disease. Together these data indicate that transplantation of pronuclei early in the first cell cycle holds promise as a safe and effective approach to preventing transmission of mtDNA disease. Overall design: Single-Cell RNA-seq analysis of embryos generated by pronuclear transfer and unmanipulated control embryos The relationship between single cell samples and the embryo from which they were derived is indicated in the sample ''characteristics: sample type'' field.
